So took the rear wheel out of one of my SS bikes and fitted it to another SS bike both have Paragon sliding dropouts but slightly different versions however the calliper holes appear to be in the same place. I tried fitting the Hope brake calliper also off of the original bike but the rear wheel won't rotate. Side spacing is now OK, could the rotor be too tall, it's 160 but it looks like a 140 would be way too small. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong???

I know nothing about your frame, but it looks like the caliper IS tabs are part of the sliding dropout ?
If so, have you swapped the dropouts ?
We had original Hope Mini for oddball (iirc) 145 or 150mm rotor.
Im assuming you had caliper fitted on old dropouts with same rotor?
It looks to me like the inboard pad is contacting the rotor. Have you tried pushing the pistons back in and resetting them?
take the pads out, put the wheel in. Does it spin?
that should sort whether its the rotor of the pads causing it to foul.
As Hols2 says, if the wheel spins freely without the pads, push the pistons back in and see what happens from there!
